Y'mean I'm not supposed to be posting 500 lines of error.log?! (And sorry about that folks - realized after-the-fact I had posted a couple of too-huge replies. Frankly I had forgotten about PostBinIt at the time.)<BR>
<BR>
The Error log has been posted as <BR>
<A HREF="mailto:barry@Lenovo-M58">barry@Lenovo-M58</A>:~$ pastebinit '/media/barry/ADATA UFD/MythBE1 - 15/error,log' <BR>
<A HREF="http://paste.ubuntu.com/19537423/">http://paste.ubuntu.com/19537423/</A><BR>

Hopefully someone can figure out what happened. And thanks for your reply and whomever helps figure out the problem.<BR>
